[chanting four more years] >> ainsley: well, that is biden hopes to sell his bidenomics agenda in the battleground state of pennsylvania as we're inching closer and closer to november. >> brian: what an outfit. >> steve: we, indeed. l.a.'s mayor karen bass asking residents there in one of america's priciest cities to cough up more cash to help buy houses for homeless people. >> we are asking the most fortunate angelenos to participate in this effort with personal, private sector, and philanthropic funds. >> brian: already got two illegal immigrants. what a circus. an elephant roams the streets of montana after escaping the

traveling show. we will follow this story wherever it goes. >> lawrence: would you ride the elephant, brian? >> brian: not yet. i need to see a saddle. >> lawrence: second hour of "fox & friends" starts right now and remember, mornings are better with friends. >> steve: we this hour off with politics the guy screen right president joe biden is taking his economic tour to pittsburgh. yesterday he was in scranton, his hometown, lawrence. >> lawrence: his visit comes one day after biden visits scranton claiming former president trump wants to bail out the billionaires. >> brian: meanwhile new data shows that biden's student bailout benefits the wealthy. >> ainsley: jacqui heinrich is live at the white house with the latest for us, hey, jacqui. >> jacqui: hey, good morning to you guys. yesterday president biden framed himself as scranton joe his opponent this november as country club trump trying to make the case that americans are better off under his tax plan. that continues today as he barn storms pittsburgh. even though new data shows his

student loan bailout benefits the wealthy. >> if he looks at the economy from mar-a-lago where he and his rich friends embrace the failed trickle down policies that have failed working families for more than 40 years. scranton values or mar-a-lago values. these are the competing vision for our economy. >> penn wharton budgets model indicates household income of $313,000 a year will see an average of $26,000 in relief from the president's new student loan forgiveness plan while only 36,000 people making roughly 40 grand a year will see only $20,000 in relief. the administration laid out its first set of rules for this proposal which the committee for a responsible budget estimates costs to be around $150 billion. with the department of education teasing yet another phase of this student loan forgiveness plan and that number shoots up

to $750 billion for cost estimate. the group said this about the impact. quote: as we have shown before, these policies would put upward pressure on inflation and interest rates by supporting stronger demand and much of the benefits would accrue to high income and highly educated americans. so, today, marks the president's fifth trip to pennsylvania just this past year as polls are showing he and president trump neck and neck really very close the latest fox survey has trump in the lead by only 2 points. biden will try to reverse that in part today perhaps by talking a little bit more about this student loan plan, guys. >> steve: jacqui, speaking of reversing the supreme court reversed his earlier decision okay we're going to figure out and forgive a bunch of student loan stuff and the supreme court said no administration, you can't do that. that kind of money has got to come from congress. you just went through the numbers. $750 billion where is that money coming from?

>> well, taxpayers is the short answer. but, again, we may see some challenges in court just as we did with the other proposals that the president made because at the end of the day, that was, in fact, the problem. that you can't have people just bailout -- bailout these loans and not get paid. at the expense of the taxpayer. there's a lot of, you know, contentious scrutiny around who would benefit the most from that. who doesn't benefit from it, whether it's, you know, correct or enforceable at all. so there are, i believe, republican state attorneys general who have already launched some sort of a challenge in court. we will see how that plays out. but, biden was bragging about, you know, continuing to press on despite the supreme court. >> steve: he was. >> jacqui: saying he couldn't do it. he said it didn't stop us then. >> brian: the lawlessness that donald trump brings to the student loan program is really uncanny. thanks so much. appreciate it, jacqui. the president of the united

states was in scranton area. he needs that area of pennsylvania. he needs to win the area. >> steve: his hometown. >> brian: needs to win it by a significant portion because the rest really goes to president trump. one thing he is doing is very trumpian. he says i'm going to put taxes on chinese aluminum and chinese tariffs. on chinese aluminum and chinese steel. and keeps talking about trickle down economics. i have news for you it does work or doesn't work. trump never brings up trickle down economics. ronald reagan the most popular republican can i remember always brought it up and george h.w. bush always brought it up. for the most part is stuck in the 80's fighting against somebody else. he wants to be a guy that people can relate to. but right now, is he find being a hard time putting donald trump into a category. he should give up on it. we have made our own opinion of donald trump a rich guy that resonates with blue collar people. you put him in mar-a-lago, rich

people don't like him as much as the works class does. >> lawrence: brian, there has been a change in the american sentiment. the poll came out and when you look at joe biden's presidency, 46% of americans say it's been mostly bad. 27 percent said not really good or bad. and then when you go to mostly good for america, only 25% say that. but, when you get to donald trump, only 33% of the folks are saying that it was mostly bad. 23% have said not really good or bad. and then 42% of americans say mostly good for the country. so, i mean, he may want to start focusing on the issues that matter to the american people from an economic standpoint, even the democrats and independents that didn't like the tone of the president said, look, we were having businesses, we were buying our first home. then you got all these kids that are gen zers that can't even get their first home. >> steve: during the trump administration remember famously they passed those tax cuts and, unfortunately for a lot of

people, they are going to expire in 2025. smartly, joe biden wants to keep a majority of the trump tax cuts working to fulfill his promise that nobody earning less than $400,000 is going to pay a nickel more. unfortunately, he does want to raise about $5 trillion over 10 years and where is he going to get that money? is he going to get it from corporations and people who make more than a billion dollars. and he detailed the little of that last night. listen to the current president on how he's going to jack up some people's taxes. >> for many americans those paychecks aren't going far when you look at the price of eggs so expensive. how do you work to get those prices down? >> well, we work to get those prices down by making sure corporate profits are brought under control. >> brian: is he blaming the grocery store owners. >> ainsley: when you hear, this how stressful is it for the average american family. >> steve: i'm not a billionaire i don't worry.

>> ainsley: hear about paying for people's college. people can barely pay. we heard a story in the last hour about child care costs. how expensive it is to either have someone watch your child at home or how expensive it is for a day care or for schools. it is so expensive and then when you look at all of your bills going up, and then you hear you're going to now have to pay for people's college, look at the fruits and vegetables. everything is more expensive. gas prices are more expensive. you have to pay for your cell phone. your electric bill. you have to pay for either your rent or your mortgage. we have done a million stories on how those prices have gone up. how can -- why -- i don't understand if you just look at how expensive everything is how people could vote for joe biden again because we are better -- we were better under trump. >> lawrence: where was the pause? he was so quick to blame the business owners. say i understand. this i see what you guys -- he is supposed to be the consoler in chief. average day guy. but, instead, he have to find a villain. >> brian: i don't understand even the phrase bailing out

billionaires. by the definition they don't need bailing out. so they don't even need to be addressed. there is only 1% of the tax rate came off the upper class. 39%. it dropped because barack obama put it up. the main thing that trump's tax cuts did was cut the corporate tax rate. he wants to raise it up to 25%. keep in mind that's not a democrat or republican thing. you are competing against ireland. you are competing against europe. >> ainsley: china. >> brian: you are competing against china. you want to give a good business person an incentive to bring their company home. they started repatriating a lot of these companies right before the pandemic hit. they would be much smart tore look at what was working instead of just using the term trickle down economics. i also think it's important to bring up that the spending is so out of control the imf yesterday said that yesterday our debt is right now in a critical stage as much as our growth is there. our debt is growing and his budget is pure red ink. >> steve: well, let's talk a little bit about taxes. because, what he is talking about, you know, in adecision to jacking up corporations taxes,

he is talking about putting a 25% tax on billionaires. meanwhile, out in los angeles, it was in the last year or so, they put a 4% mansion tax on sales of houses over $5 million and a 5.5% tax on houses more than $10 million. how did that work out? well, so far raised $250 million for housing which sounds good. they thought they would make 670,000 more in real estate agents out there say the tax is prompting wealthy buyers to look elsewhere and they are not making the kind of money they thought they would with the mansion tax. so, nonetheless, carrie bass, who is the current mayor of los angeles, is now saying okay, we're starting to make a little headway with the mansion tax. but we need people who are not impacted by it to help us buy houses for people who don't have houses. here she is. >> right now we're working to

move past nightly room rentals, including by master leasing and purchasing hotels and motels and already built permanent housing. now, we are asking the most fortunate angelenos who o-to-participate in this effort with personal, private sector, and philanthropic funds to help us acquire more properties, lower the cost of capital, and speed up housing. >> lawrence: this is so ignorant. los angeles county doesn't have a problem with money for the homeless. you got last year alone $532 million given to the homeless. this year they are set to give $609 million to the homeless. when i go out there and interview the homeless, i ask them why won't did you go into the housing that's already provided for you? they go they have rules and you can't have the drugs. you can't bring all your crap there. you got a curfew. so we decided that we would get a meal on the side of the street every single day. we get safe injection sites.

they give us the needles to shoot up. why would we go into the housing when we can do all the junk and still get meals, a cell phone and our needles on the street? >> brian: look at the budget in los angeles. $2.640 billion so far just from property taxes. the business taxes, 847 million, sales tax $724 million. the house luxury -- l.a. tax, i guess in housing, the fund, is $671 million. so, here's the thing, too. >> lawrence: property taxes. >> brian: what they are doing, too. when you tell rich people that you are going to tax them with a wealth tax, they are going to go some place else, that's how they got rich. being smart with their money. that's what froze the luxury home sales. you came in with -- they do a -- they are paying out huge commissions for real estate agent when you sell a multi million dollars home. and then on top of that they say give me 4%. really? now, okay. you want me to sell it and then do you want me to stay here and

buy another home and still get taxed? and the other thing that people tell me because i don't hang out with billionaires. a lot of them have investment income. if you are going to turn around and say 25% -- 25% income tax on what? their investment income is earning money but you're not -- or you cannot text income on investments when you have already bought to get the investment. when you sell the investment you have to give tax money. but when you hold the investment you should not be paying money. >> ainsley: let me get this straight. >> steve: capital gains. >> brian: on the sale. >> steve: there are three different rates, 15, 20, 25%. depends on how much you make. it's the progressive tax structure. >> ainsley: so you work really hard. you pay for your own college. >> brian: you are just fortunate. you are just fortunate. >> ainsley: did i not grow up with a lot. i think all four of us. >> lawrence: same. >> ainsley: we talked about how we grew up with the stresses of our parents having to pay bills. we were not, you know, wealthy families growing up. so we have been there.

we have felt by the grace of god we have these great jobs and we can pay our bills and help our families. but that's the american dream. you work really hard. you pay for your college. and now you have to pay for someone else's college? you work really hard to buy that nice house in l.a. now you have to pay for someone else's house? >> brian: here it gets worse. >> ainsley: for someone who is homeless and probably out there doing drugs? >> lawrence: take it away. >> brian: if you move out of the state they could follow you for 10 years. >> ainsley: trying to pass that. >> brian: and these businesses that move out of the state and go to texas and florida, they tax them for 10 years. that's what gavin newsom did. that guy is un -- >> ainsley: he said if you are homeless, come to my state, we welcome you. >> lawrence: ainsley, the core element is what you just said about the measure dream and they are taking that away. there is no incentive to work hard now. >> ainsley: right. >> lawrence: going to tax you get 60% of the money at the end of the day, you work hard, you struggle, that used to be a are the path the story. no longer is the story now. >> ainsley: you get free

healthcare with illegal immigrants, free healthcare, free housing. >> steve: a lot of the stuff. >> ainsley: okay. i'm going to have a heart attack. we got to stop talking about this. >> steve: a couple days ago mark cuban posted on x i think he got the bill from hicks tax accountant and going to have to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in federal income taxes for this past tax year. and he said essentially, he happily does it. but, the other part to your point, is he said do i think washington, d.c. is going to spend it wisely? >> ainsley: no. >> steve: no. >> brian: he got ripped for that the people going after him. is he not paying enough taxes. but people going after him. you should be giving more. look how much money you are making. do you know how hard mark cuban works in the guy never stops. >> lawrence: that's what he gets for virtue signaling saying he was glad to pay it and he still -- he still dot shredded for it. because it's never enough for a lot of these folks sitting on their tails. >> brian: part of him knows that. instinctively he goes left i think he functions like a

conservative. >> lawrence: exactly right. >> brian: he wants people to work for him. >> lawrence: watch shark tank is he brutal with them. >> ainsley: this morning senators warn sworn in as jurors for alejandro mayorkas impeachment trial. >> brian: it could be short lived as schumer is planning to dismiss the trial all together. >> lawrence: lucas tomlinson is in washington with the latest. >> not quite as somber as holy week. house members led a procession across the capital rotunda to the senate to deliver impeachment articles. something not seen in the halls of congress for 148 years. at the same time dhs chief alejandro mayorkas is facing questions from house lawmakers. >> is a terrorist attack inside the united states of america imminent? >> let me assure you, congressman, that the safety and security of the american people is our highest priority. >> is it imminent? >> same answer, congressman. >> is a terror attack on the homeland ever the united states of america imminent today? >> let me me assure you reremain

vigilant. >> for these years mayorkas denied there was a crisis on the southern border. over 7 million migrants have been encountered since president biden took office. that's more than 3 times more for the four years under donald trump. mayorkas recently changed his assessment now calls it a crisis. he also said the federal government is doing all it can to keep illegal migrants from coming in. >> with the resources and the authorities that we have been provided, it is as secure as we can make it. >> president biden's ice director will be testifying today on fentanyl after former attorney general bill barr said the following. >> simply put, without china's production and export of fentanyl and fentanyl precursors there would be no fentanyl crisis in the united states. and the mass slaughter would effectively stop. >> the impeachment of mayorkas was only the 22nd time in u.s. history that someone has been impeached. guys? >> steve: all right, lucas,

thank you very much. also yesterday, speaking of fentanyl, it was revealed, i saw the news reporting, that apparently companies in china that make the fentanyl precursors get rebates from china totaling a lot of money to go ahead and manufacture the stuff. however, the one caveat is they have to sell it out of the country. they can't sell it in china because they know that it is addictive and it kills people. so, it's curious. so china knowingly is subsidizing these companies that are causing the fentanyl crisis in the united states and we know that our president has said you've got to do something about it and they have nodded and said yeah, we are working on it. just the fact that china is paying companies to ship it to us is just a shame. >> lawrence: that's why the actual trial of this impeachment is so important. i get that a lot of those on the left probably won't vote for it. but i think they should be on

record. especially those senators that are in swing states. but it's not just mayorkas that is on trial right here. it's the biden administration's policy on this. and i just think you got to leave it up to the voters but it deserves a vote in the senate. >> brian: we lose 200 americans a day. that's a pack 737 crashing every single day to fentanyl use. now we know that china not only makes the precursors, they incentivize people to move it out of the country and come here. and they pay the cartels to manufacture it and smuggle it through. so it comes through how much more between tiktoking manipulating our next generation of people with news, between fentanyl killing people, subliminally or throughout our country through the direct challenge we are getting everywhere to the non-cyberattacks that the fbi told us every 12 hours he opens up another file on another chinese cyber attack. what other proof do you need that we're at war with in country? >> ainsley: what matters most to us other than our faith? our children.

right? i listen to todd piro interview a lady, was it yesterday? did you hear the interview was it yesterday, carley? a mom who lost her daughter who took just a half of a percocet is that what it was, carley? >> carley: yeah. >> ainsley: and the daughter died. and she said this was not an overdose. >> lawrence: it was a poisoning. >> ainsley: this was a poisoning. fentanyl in the percocet. and when you look at the picture of mayorkas. and you hear that lady's story. she said this is the problem. this guy is allowing our borders to be own. and inadvertently is killing people. >> brian: msnbc cut with him just bragging about the 90 executive orders he overturned. how he undid everything that trump did. he was bragging about it. now he denies he did any of it. >> lawrence: well, we had a president that was putting tartariffs on china. >> brian: this president never took them off. >> steve: the problem is mayorkas is simply doing what the white house wants him to do. they get rid of him and impeach

him and bring in a new guy going to do exactly the same thing. >> ainsley: how can you live with yourself though? >> steve: talk to joe biden. it's joe biden's policy. >> ainsley: can't he find another job where people aren't opening the borders and people are i doing? how do you live with yourself. >> brian: integrity if he really didn't believe what he was doing he resigned. you don't do this for the money. >> lawrence: especially when he knows better. >> steve: it's a lot. that is some of what is going on in washington. meanwhile, carley joins us with news from the kansas. >> carley: i certainly do, guys, starting in kansas. authorities confirming two bodies found in oklahoma are that of missing kansas moms veronica butler and julian kelly. they vanished late last month after going to pick up one of their courts for a court ordered visitation. their vehicle was found abandoned in oklahoma near kansas border. four people who police say are a part of a group called god's miss fits are facing murder and kidnapping charges.

for health reasons i would say 18. let's really protect middle schoolers brains. give them a flip phone if you want to communicate with them not smart phone. >> brian: got to be legislation not just talking. tech policy center director at the heritage foundation kara frederick. what do you expect to happen today what has to emerge when this legislation is all said and done? >> i expect a ton to happen. i think this is going to be a seminole hearing. and not just because i will be there testifying. but, mostly because we're talking about things that are foundational to children and social media. and that is privacy. what we're doing is we're looking at the american privacy rights act and we're saying that americans young and old deserve to be in charge of their own data. that there should be limits on data collection. and there should be teeth behind legislation that forces big tech companies to actually be on notice to limit the collection of their data and to not be

incentivized to keep exploiting the data, especially of young children. that has to emerge today. that's the one thing that has to come out of this. >> brian: i don't want to bore people with all the numbers but there is like 15 acts here going to be looking at. some of the things that could owe merge because apple and google are going to rein themselves in. got to be a certain age to be on social media. have to be a certain age to be online. there has got to be age verification maybe you say second party verification maybe something have you now for different items. so right away, this could take place, correct? what do you think has a shot at passing? >> so. i really think a 2.0 children's privacy protection act which raises that bright line of protections from 13 to 16. i think that's a no-brainer. the kids online safe-t act. that should be -- those policies are wonderful policies having more stringent default settings so companies have to say no, your privacy is protected by default. the american privacy rights act,

again, that foundational piece of legislation, this is the moment, this is the first time the united states could actually pass a national data protection framework which protects us, again, young and old, and this is huge. so i think that one, that is the thing that we should be training our focus on because it underpins it's at the heart of everything that kids can do on social media and every predation that big tech can train on young children. unfortunately. >> brian: kara, parents want. this this happens no so gradual. no one had any rules. understood. now it's time to put the rules. in also algorithm accountability act to people manipulate you by what they think you want and been effective like tiktok especially. thank you so much, cara. i look forward to your testimony today. don't be nervous. >> thank you, brian. >> brian: you know this stuff. i want you to join me a week from this saturday on april 27th. right outside of las vegas in henderson, nevada, history, liberty and laughs, patriotic,

retail thefts an increase of almost 7% from 2023. the former president has been confined to the courtroom in new york for his trial. this weekend he is required to attend every day going forward. trump says his opponents and democrats want to keep him off the campaign trail but he told his supporters yesterday that he thinks it will have the, quote, reverse effect. the second day of the trial ended with seven jurors being seated. the trial has been adjourned until tomorrow at 9:30 a.m. lawrence? >> lawrence: i just get a kick out of the former president coming to harlem. that's what i'm talking about. thanks, brooke. >> lawrence: former anchor katie couric telling bill maher what she thinks motivates trump supporters, watch. >> class resentment is a lot -- and anti-intellectualism and elitism is what is driving many of these -- these antiestablishment which are trump voters are antiestablishment voters. >> absolutely.

>> lawrence: doesn't that sound similar to another insult of trump voters back in 2016? >> can you put half of trump supporters into what i call the basket of deplorables. the racist, sexists, homophobic, xenophobic, islamophobic, you name it. >> lawrence: you name it. here to react, fox news contributor tammy bruce. they don't learn. >> well, what's interesting is, not only they don't learn because they don't hear themselves. they are so separate from real life, from regular people. i don't know if katie couric realizes that why saying they are anti-incident electric actuallyism that is class resentment. she is calling them dumb or jealous of people like her. they will continue to lose if they can't even move and look up for one moment at people other than themselves. people who are different. clearly, if you're a journalist, you should be a curious person.

wondering what has made donald trump the favorite of tens of millions of americans? now, if you don't want to face your own failures. if you don't want to think that you are superior to everyone, which is what our elite tends to do, not all of them. but there is a sense that they know better. that they're better than everyone else, that they're the smarter ones. they should be in charge. if you were to acknowledge that tens of millions of americans think differently than you and might be right, that eliminates your entire -- your own identity, your entire theory of government. and why you matter. that's why some of these people, like katie couric and hillary clinton simply have contempt, i think, for people other than themselves. >> lawrence: tammy, what is the appeal? you got this rich guy that you have all these middle class, even poor people that are supporting. look at him coming to harlem yesterday and the streets being packed? >> well, i think that's also another good example of what america represents.

you can be anyone and you can have empathy. you can love the country. you can love your neighbor. it's not that if you get successful or rich or upper middle class that you suddenly get detached. that's not what happens to people. and i think that that's what he represents. there's a dynamic, i think, and especially, look, with two women leading the way to smear people for who they are, that's what happened to women, that we were told as were people of color, that you can't be in charge. you can't have that job. you can't be taken seriously because you're not smart enough. or you can't think properly. or you are different than us. and now to have two powerful women and others on the left, other women on the left saying the same thing now about other americans is shameful. the person -- this is why you got judge people as individuals. and that's what trump is showing us is the fact that love of country can transcend everything else and he recognizes that what he has is a result of this

nation. you have that. i have that. we love the country no matter how you started. you have that chance. these elites oh they don't want to believe that because, of course, we're not as good as they are. but we are. we are. we might, you know, we are americans first. >> lawrence: well said, tammy bruce, thank you so much. >> tammy: thank you, sir. >> lawrence: is travis kelce in the game show host era. kansas city chief's teammate defending dad vibe.
